Four
year old innovative investment model up over 250% since June
2001 launch
AUSTIN,
TX, JUNE 18, 2005 -- It has been four years since
two former computer scientists developed TimingCube®,
a mathematical model that detects and advises subscribers
of trends in the markets. As of May 31, 2005, the results
are impressive -- with TimingCube recording an annualized
return of 252% on the NASDAQ 100 index which compares to a
loss of -7.4% for the traditional buy and hold strategy.
Over the four years, since the launch on June 18, 2001, a
$10,000 investment using a TimingCube
Long and Short strategy would now be worth $35,229.00. A buy
and hold position for the same time period would have lost
$743.00 for a total of $9,257.00.
"TimingCube
uses a proprietary formula and has a deaf ear to all the noise
in the market," said Frank Minssieux, co-founder and
president of TimingCube. "We will soon sign our 5,000th
subscriber and project earnings of over $2 million in 2005.
We offer a unique form of long term investing that follows
the broad trends to profit in both rising and falling markets.
Our 'Trend Time investing' system has correctly
identified the underlying trend of the market a phenomenal
86% of the time, and during the 14% the model was wrong, the
loss has been held to 2-3% while the model reversed course."
"Our
philosophy is to invest for the long term," adds Serge
Dacic, co-founder and executive vice president of TimingCube.
"And unlike traditional buy and hold positions, the
Trend Timing style of investing avoids and benefits from market
downturns to achieve outstanding risk-adjusted returns."
TimingCube's
model uses the price and volume data of the NASDAQ 100 to
determine a Buy
or Sell signal.
Since June 2001, the signal has changed just 14 times reading
the longer-term market trend and ignoring emotion, opinion
and news. In the four years, the longest signal to date ran
13 months; and, on average signals change three to five times
a year. Four investment strategies, ranging from conservative
to aggressive are offered and all have posted annualized returns
between 18.55% - 78.97% from June 2001 to June 2005. This
compares to the flat performance of a buy and hold strategy
which lost an annualized return of - 2.77% over the same time
period.
"The
growth of our company is a reflection of the popularity and
success of TimingCube
in managing investments," said Minssieux. "No single year
has ended with a loss and altogether the time spent in negative
territory is very rare and shallow. Our model has the uncanny
ability to identify changes in the predominant market trend
and our Buy, Sell
or Cash signals
work for other U.S. indexes, like the S&P 500 and Russell
2000 and international markets."
"We
believe there is no other mode of investment that combines
high returns, low risk, few trades and the ability to profit
in both positive and negative markets," Dacic adds.

TimingCube
celebrates three-year anniversary
--
Developer of Innovative Investment Model Offers Alternative
Investment Strategy --
AUSTIN,
TX, JUNE 18, 2004 -- Today marks the three-year anniversary
since TimingCube®,
the developer of an innovative investment model called Trend
Timing, began issuing Buy
and Sell signals
to the investment community. TimingCube's
model tracks the broad market trend and drives investments
in vehicles mirroring three key indexes, the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ),
the Russell 2000 (IWM) and S&P 500 (SPY or IVV) and has given
investors new options for maximizing their investment strategies.
Since June 18, 2001, long-term, serious investors have used
TimingCube's
unique model to manage their portfolios, plan for retirement,
make sound investment choices, and gain in up or down markets
by following the predominant market trend. The move has paid
off handsomely as TimingCube
has recorded an annualized return of 50% on the Nasdaq 100
index, compared to -5% for buy and hold over the three-year
period. Over the three-years, a $10,000 investment would have
grown to $33,510. The model has also been back tested to 1989
against all three indexes, and consistently performed better
than buy and hold over the 15-year period.
"We
are very pleased with the company's development over the last
three years and its ability to help serve our customers' investment
needs", said Frank Minssieux, president and co-founder of
TimingCube.
"We believe our model represents the best opportunity to consistently
beat the markets with infrequent trading and built-in diversification".
Two
former computer scientists developed the model in order to
better manage their retirement funds and to better understand
how moves in market indexes affect long-term investing. Over
its three-year history, TimingCube
has grown to more than 4,000 customers while adding an average
of 200-300 per month due to the popularity and unparalleled
success of its innovative investment model. Earlier this year,
TimingCube
also unveiled the Russell 2000 and S&P 500 indexes as new
investment options for use with its signal in addition to
the Nasdaq 100.
TimingCube's
model primarily uses the price and volume data of the major
market indexes to determine its signal, which is computer-based
and 100% mechanical and objective. The model will generate
a Buy, Sell
or a Cash signal,
and will remain in effect until a new signal invalidates it.
Four investment strategies, ranging from conservative to aggressive
are offered, all of which have posted annualized returns between
23-107% from June 2001 to June 2004.
"Our
model helps investors preserve their capital during downturns
and maximize it during upswings", said Dr. Serge Dacic, executive
vice president and co-founder of TimingCube.
"The market losses experienced during the recession were difficult
on any buy and hold investor but especially so for retirees,
many of whom often don't have the luxury of the longer term
view. They live off their investments and big losses force
them to make hard, often detrimental, choices such as selling
during a correction".
TimingCube
is a new breed of stock market timing based on "Trend Timing".
TimingCube
signals -- 3 to 5 times a year -- when to buy, sell or cash
out of the stock market using exchange-traded funds representing
major indexes such as the Nasdaq 100, the Russell 2000 or the
S&P 500. TimingCube

TimingCube
adds two investment indexes to unique Trend Timing Model
--
Russell 2000 and S&P 500 Join Nasdaq 100 as Investment
Options --
AUSTIN,
TX, JANUARY 20, 2004 -- TimingCube,
the developer of an innovative investment Model, called Trend
Timing, today unveiled the Russell 2000 and S&P 500 indexes
and their tracking Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), IWM and SPY
or IVV respectively, as new investment options for use with
its signal. Since its launch in spring 2001, TimingCube
has generally followed and reported on the Nasdaq 100 (ETF:
QQQ), but has now expanded its scope to provide investors
with these new investment options.
"While they generally move in unison, the Nasdaq, Russell
and S&P indexes represent slightly different facets of
the market, which we believe presents further opportunity
to diversify, or optimize, depending on individual preference,"
said Frank Minssieux, president and co-founder of TimingCube.
TimingCube
has only issued ten "Buy"
or "Sell" signals
since June 2001 and recorded an annualized return of 65% on
the Nasdaq 100 index, compared to -4% for Buy and Hold over
the same period. The TimingCube
Model has been backtested to 1989 against all three indexes,
and consistently performed better than Buy and Hold over the
15-year period. TimingCube's
Model posted annualized 3-year returns of 67.51% for the Nasdaq
100 index, 55.33% for the Russell 2000 index and 37.41% for
the S&P 500 index compared with -14.44%, 4.83% and -5.57%,
respectively, for the same indexes using Buy and Hold.
TimingCube's
subscriber base has also grown more than 50% over the last
six months, and the company adds approximately 200-300 new
subscribers per month.
"Our
subscribers, who number more than 3,000 now, have consistently
asked whether they could use the signal with other investment
options," said Dr. Serge Dacic, co-founder of TimingCube.
"We have been looking at that question for some time, and
are convinced that investors can succeed with new investment
options without sacrificing the ease, simplicity or liquidity
they receive from the Nasdaq 100."
TimingCube's
Model primarily uses the price and volume data of the major

New
survey finds Market Timers who defy stereotypes
--
"Trend Timers" Patient, Wealthy and Diversified --
-- Hungry for New Sources of Investment Information --
AUSTIN,
TX, SEPTEMBER 17, 2003 -- A new breed of investors
-- "trend timers" -- is defying the stereotype of traditional
market timers who seek short-term gains and exploit market
inefficiencies. This is one of the key findings from a survey
of 1,200 subscribers to TimingCube,
a timing service geared to long-term investing which only
requires trading three to five times a year.
More
than half of TimingCube's
2,400 person subscriber base participated in the online survey,
which concluded September 7. The results indicated that these
trend timers are patient, wealthy and diversified. Nearly
40 percent have more than $250,000 invested in the stock market
alone, while almost half (47 percent) combine Buy and Hold
and timing strategies. Unlike stereotypical timers who trade
weekly, daily or even hourly, trend timers hold their positions
for an average of three months.
The survey
also found trend timers are fairly sophisticated investors:
- Better
than 90 percent employ shorting strategies and more than
60 percent use leverage to beat the market
- Stocks
are the investment vehicle of choice (77 percent), followed
by mutual funds (71 percent) and exchange-traded funds (51
percent)
- Market
volatility is a source of concern; 64 percent feel there
will be greater volatility in the remainder of 2003
- Trend
timers are not sitting on the sidelines; 58 percent have
less than a quarter of their portfolio in cash or money
markets. For investors with $1 million or more, 76 percent
are mostly in the market (50 percent or less in cash or
money markets)
"Market
timing has traditionally carried negative connotations," says
President and Co-Founder of TimingCube,
Frank Minssieux, "but our survey indicates that trend timers
are genuinely conservative investors who time their investments
to maximize their returns, and are willing to wait for the
opportunities."
Among
the other key survey findings:
- No
Faith in Wall Street: Sixty-seven percent of respondents
do not feel Wall Street has settled its conflict of interest
issues and say it still cannot be trusted
- Unhappy
with Available Information: Almost 40 percent rated
the quality of current investment information "poor" or
"very poor", compared to 34 percent who responded "good"
or "excellent"
- Wealthy
are Bullish on Exchange-Traded Funds: Forty-six
percent of investors with less than $250,000 invest in ETFs,
while 61 percent of investors with $1 million or more invest
in ETFs
- Investing
with Less Stress: Though 64 percent feel the market
will be more volatile throughout the remainder of the year
-- a stressful prediction -- 71 percent are less stressed
about their personal investments since using the TimingCube
signal

TimingCube
introduces Long-Term Market Timing Solution
New
Trend Timing Avoids Pitfalls of Rapid Market Timers; Beats
Buy and Hold Returns By Over 300%
AUSTIN,
TX, June 23, 2003 -- A new version of market timing
is attracting investors throughout America and the world with
superior returns, verified signals and very few trades. Since
its inception in June of 2001, TimingCube's
Trend Timing approach to investing (
) has issued only ten "Buy"
or "Sell" signals
and recorded a cumulative 193% return on the Nasdaq 100 stocks
(known as the QQQ), while Buy and Hold strategies have lost
29% over the same period. Yesterday marked the first anniversary
of signal verification by TimerTrac, an independent online
tracking organization (www.TimerTrac.com).
TimingCube's
Model primarily uses the price and volume data of major market
indexes to determine its signal. It is computer based and
excludes extraneous factors such as emotions, opinions or
news. The goal is to determine the longer-term market trend
while avoiding corrections, 'whipsaws' or other short-term
phenomena. Signals have run as long as 18 months but on average
last three to four months. TimingCube
back-tested the Model with 12 years of data back to January
3, 1989 to ensure Trend Timing works in all types of markets.
"We built
TimingCube's
Trend Timing Model to take control of our own investments
with an emphasis on minimizing costs and stress," said Frank
Minssieux, president and co-founder of TimingCube.
"The Model achieves those goals by issuing very few signals
per year and utilizing market index Exchange Traded Funds
(ETFs) for their inherent diversification and liquidity. As
an added bonus, it's very profitable for investors."
More
than 2,000 investors subscribe to the TimingCube
service and an additional 200 to 300 join each month. Subscriptions
cost $30 monthly or $300 annually with no long-term obligations.
The current signal is available to subscribers on the Web
site, and they are notified of signal changes via email. All
signals, save for the most recent, are also available to the
general public.
"Independent
verification of our signal is critical to assuage the concerns
of individual investors burned by Wall Street scandals and
less credible timing services," said co-founder and executive
vice president, Dr. Serge Dacic. "TimerTrac has a superb reputation
and a very simple business proposition: once the signal is
sent, it is set in stone and cannot be altered. Simplicity
and integrity are very appealing to us and our subscribers."
Recent
market history demonstrates that investors must be able to
identify all markets, up or down, and act according to their
risk tolerance. TimingCube's
Trend Timing Model is specifically designed to identify the
current trend and allow investors to benefit from it. Strategies
for implementing the TimingCube
signal span the risk spectrum from conservative (long only)
to aggressive (long and short with margin). While most IRA
and 401(k) retirement plans do not allow investors to engage
in more aggressive strategies, such as shorting stocks, investors
may invest in mutual funds that do. ProFunds and Rydex funds
both offer mutual funds that mirror shorting and margin strategies.
The nature
of TimingCube's
Trend Timing Model is well suited for retirees and investors
concerned about their retirement savings. As opposed to a
Buy and Hold Model, retirees no longer have to wait for their
portfolio to recover from a bear market, and can even benefit
from down markets. Younger investors benefit on a compounded
basis, given their longer time horizon. TimingCube
also established a risk control or 'safety valve' measure
that instructs investors to 'go to cash' if markets unexpectedly
reverse themselves by 9 percent from their level at the time
the last signal was issued. In such cases, TimingCube's
Trend Timing Model will look for the next signal and advise
investors accordingly.
